Emotions express a reaction that takes place in the inner world of a person against the influence of the external world. In other words, we can say that emotion is the movement that occurs in the inner world of a person. Happiness, anxiety, anger, excitement, hate and love are some of the emotions that exist in people. The reason for these feelings may be effects from the outer world or the transcendent dimension towards the inner world of the human being. The source of a person's love for a doer is external. But the same person's love for his unseen prophet is a transcendent factor.
We all know what power emotion has over human decisions. It is the consistency of emotions that will determine a person's reaction to events. Therefore, it is possible for people to make healthy decisions only with the freedom of emotions. Freedom of emotions is ensured by the emergence of moral, motivation and values that activate emotions from the depths of human nature. If it is the imposition or direction of external factors that determine human emotions, it means that we can no longer talk about the freedom of these emotions.
Whoever controls a person's emotions, they are the ones who direct the attitude, behavior, stance and direction of the person. It is those who have the power to control emotions that determine what people think and decide. You can persuade people whose feelings you direct, that you want them, and make them abstain from what you want. Therefore, the most important way for those who want to manage people's perceptions is to provide an environment that will activate their emotions. Because the greater the intensity and severity of emotions, the less chance people have to understand and interpret the true face of events.
In these days when the smell of the election is starting to come, we see that the agendas that will somehow activate the emotions are starting to emerge. The only method that can be applied to prevent the problems caused by the economic crisis from occupying the agenda is to develop discourses for people's feelings. The aim is to carry other agendas instead of self-directed inquiries. Attributing emotions to domestic politics from international events and raising concerns about the weakness of discourse in domestic politics serve this purpose.
However, there are those who try to increase self-interest with such emotional abuses. The increase in such approaches, the results of which are uncertain according to the public, seems like a project in itself. Instead of developing common sense programs and projects based on refugees living in our country, there must be a purpose to try to load an emotion by increasing the dose of bravery. I think we can better understand the purpose of these discourses with the events that we will experience in the future.
We cannot expect people to think clearly in an environment where emotions are heated and foamed. Those who carry out this for a purpose actually do not want people to think. Hamasi rhetoric has influenced not only the average individual, but even the leading clerk of the society. The scene we see is truly deplorable for the intellectual level of the country. We need to realize how the social balance is damaged in an environment where emotions overpower reason and common sense. Otherwise, it may be too late for everything when the ground slips under our feet.
